Passengers in Panic

Athens-based folk-metal band Passengers in Panic incorporate folk instrumentation such as flute, and pipes into an otherwise progressive metal style, that manages to be dark, and enchanting at the same time. Lyrically, the four-piece outfit of Yohanna Galani (vocals), Lela Argyri (guitars), Lefteris Christou (bass) and Fivos Andriopoulos (drums) examine various social themes in their songs such as toxic relationships, injustice, and human rights. For example, “Leap of Faith” from their 2020 eponymous debut album is dedicated to and inspired from victims of femicide, as well as women who have survived domestic violence. The band is planning to release their sophomore album in 2024. Photo copyright: C. Alossi
